Chapter 45 Two on the Spring Breeze Building
Liang Ruimin was overjoyed when he heard this, "If you can guarantee that my Liang family will show a talent, the old man will exempt you from the debt of five hundred taels." ”
"One thousand taels."
"Six hundred taels."
"Deal."
The imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the imperial court to select talents, and it must not be taken lightly. Li Yanqing successfully used the price to maintain the face and status of the national ceremony, and he was very happy in his heart.
He continued: "If this does not work, I will naturally not take a penny. However, if this can be done, it will not be possible to forgive the debt of 600 taels. Doesn't the house, and even the way of learning, need to exercise? For this activity funding, Liang Weng has to break the bank. ”
"I get that. As long as my Liang family can produce a talent, silver is not a problem. It's just that the candidates in those counties of Xinhui also have a lot of money at home, can you be sure of this? ”
"A qiē wrap on my body, Bao Liang Weng is satisfied."
"That's fine. At the banquet tonight, you can rest assured that there is an old man to help you, and you can't help those old immortals not bow their heads. Don't you just want to collect the land rent and make sure that they are willing to pay the money obediently? But when it comes to the number of talent shows, you definitely can't say three. The old man's Liang family wants to occupy two, and they can only be given one place. ”
"This is easy to say, but the official also has conditions. In addition to the land rent and Ding tax, there is another article in Xiangshan, that is, a lawsuit. Now all ethnic groups are handling criminal lawsuits on their own in the countryside, and the official has no business to do here, and in the future, the township is forbidden to mediate privately in this criminal lawsuit. There must be a document issued by the government before the conclusion can be made, otherwise the official is not to blame for being ruthless. ”
The Ming Dynasty pursued the policy of not going to the countryside, and the lawsuits born in the township were basically adjudicated by the patriarch of the clan. The so-called criminal simplification and political clarity are actually clan forces that have encroached on the government's law enforcement power. During the reign of a certain holy monarch, there were more than a dozen death penalty cases a year, not that the public security was really that good, but those death sentences were carried out by the rich people in the township, and there were not many death sentences executed by the government.
Ordinary officials will not make trouble for themselves and are happy to push the lawsuit below. But Li Yanqing has a lofty heart, and he is bent on calling the wind and rain in Xiangshan to get rich, how can he hand over this kind of lawsuit trial power? You must know that in the era of the Ming Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Prison Break was completely legal. The discretion of the magistrate is terrifying.
For example, in history, a woman who was outside the temple made incense, and was entangled by the local heroes, and the maid escaped to report the news, but the young lady was already strong. According to the law, this can be questioned. However, during the trial, the presiding judge only gave a light sentence of three years to a crime that could be beheaded on the basis of the trivial detail that the young lady first resisted and then followed.
In the eyes of later generations, this kind of punishment is certainly not fair enough, and may even attract human flesh. The person who can judge the case is a famous minister who has been recited through the ages, and this case is also considered to be a manifestation of his understanding of the case and the fairness of the case. Seeing the subtle knowledge, if such a permission is used well, how can it not be a pattern where all gods and ghosts are worried, and they dare not obey?
Breaking the family and knowing the county is too guarded, these eight words are not to be heard. Li Yanqing wants to take Xiangshan County into his own hands and be a veritable Baili Hou, and he naturally doesn't want to delegate the authority of this judicial sentence.
Liang Ruimin obviously didn't fully understand the importance of power in this regard, so he immediately nodded and said, "It's easy to say." Originally, we were also worried about the eldest master, and since you want to take back the power, we naturally have no disobedience. During the day, everyone talked a little too much, and tonight, let them make amends to the eldest master in person. ”
Seeing off the happy Liang Ruimin, Qin Ruizhu said: "Master, this imperial examination is a national talent ceremony, and it is not a joke." My father said at the beginning that the only way out for scholars is in the imperial examination. The imperial court has strict prohibitions in the imperial examinations, and if you really interfere in it, you are afraid that you will get into trouble. ”
Li Yanqing smiled and said, "What? Xiao Qin, have you finally started to care about me? ”
Qin Ruizhu's face flushed, "What nonsense are you talking about, I have a husband." If I want to talk this kind of nonsense again, I have no choice but to move out of the yamen and live alone. ”
"Okay, my Master Qin, my good arm. If you leave the yamen, the official's stall will not be able to support it. ”
A few sweet words wiped out most of Qin Ruizhu's anger. She was originally more ashamed than angry, and she was very coaxing. In fact, this kind of joke that half-crosses the line and does not cross the line, Li Yanqing has never interrupted, and the matter of workplace disturbance is used on Qin Ruizhu, a surviving person, which has a unique taste.
He then said: "It's true that the imperial examination is a ceremony to pick talents, isn't this scholar in Xiangshan County a scholar?" The reason why they are not good in the imperial examination is only because the local academic style is not prosperous. The reason why the local learning style is not prosperous is because the place is too poor. If you don't see any hope in reading, no one reads. This official let the people here see the hope of studying again, how do you look at it, it is also a good thing for them, why has it become a bad thing? ”
He took a sip of tea, "Besides, the imperial examination has never been a fair thing, the family has the essence in his hands, and it is much more convenient for his children to study than ordinary people." I am the great order of Xiangshan, and it is also my duty to let a few families under my rule who should be educated, and it can be said that it is my good governance. It's just that in the process, a little benefit fee is charged. That's fair. As for whether there is a problem, you can rest assured that this official has handled this matter very safely, and it is guaranteed that there will be no problems. By the way, you hurry up and dress up, and accompany me to the banquet in a while. ”
"I'm not going, there are so many official documents in the yamen, I still have to approve them, I don't have time." She muttered, but still turned involuntarily to her abode. Li Yanqing chased after him, took a bottle of Western flower dew sent by Liang Ruimin, and handed it over, "Dust this on your body, it smells good." There are three bottles in total, one bottle will be given to you, and the other two bottles will be left for Ye Qing. ”
Qin Ruizhu also knows these days that it was purely a misunderstanding to catch herself in the first place. She was unkempt, which completely met the definition of a Jianghu person by Ryanstein's people, and when she heard that he was looking for Zhixian, she mistook her for Liu Yeqing.
She was inexplicably a little angry in her heart, "I will correct official documents for you every day, handle administrative documents, and help you take care of the official seal." I can't lift my tired arms anymore, why are there two bottles of Liu Yeqing and one bottle of me? ”
She is still in mourning, and it is said that she has to keep filial piety to her husband, dress, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and there are rules. It's just that she is now dressed as a man and has to work as a secretary, and she can't afford to pay attention to many things.
Especially tonight is going to Chunfeng Building, my husband was fascinated by the little goblin at the beginning, and he owed countless deficits with white slips. This Liu Chaozuo also lingered there for two nights, is the woman there really better than herself?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the bronze mirror, took the powder and applied a thin layer on her face, and dusted the Western flower dew a few times on her body. The chest was wrapped with strips of cloth, and she couldn't see the size, so she had to stand up, and said in her heart: At night, never lose to those vixens!
